Home help in Farningham
Looking for home help or a companion for an elderly parent in Farningham?
Families usually find us when they search for home help for the elderly, a companion for an older relative, a befriending or sitting service, or help with shopping and cleaning near Farningham. That is exactly what we do. A regular, friendly visit from the same local support worker covers company, shopping, a cooked meal, light housework and a reminder to take tablets, so your mum or dad can stay independent in their own home.
If you look after someone yourself, our sitting service gives you a planned carer break of three or four hours. We are not a care agency and we do not provide personal care, which is why we can be flexible: visits from 30 minutes, no minimum contract, and the first home assessment in Farningham is free.
Paying for support
Self-funding or a Direct Payment from Kent County Council.
Farningham is in Sevenoaks District, and adult social care is provided by Kent County Council. If Kent County Council has given you a Direct Payment or Personal Budget, you can use it for our support where your support plan allows it. We send itemised invoices and visit records every month.
If you pay for yourself, there is no minimum contract and you can stop with seven days’ notice. Attendance Allowance can also be spent on support like ours.
Coming home from hospital
If you or your relative is coming home from Darent Valley Hospital in Dartford and can manage their own personal care, our seven-day Home Again package covers shopping, meals, prescriptions and daily check-ins for the first week.
What it costs
A personalised quote, agreed before we start.
Every person’s week is different, so we give you a clear written quote after your free home assessment in Farningham. There is no VAT to add, no minimum contract, and nothing to pay until you have agreed it.
